I am using BL2 with mutt for BL2.
Sendmail which got installed by mutt is a little script which invokes 
pmail to send what is in the file _unsent.

I think I have Steven's script 'mail' working again.  I added back to
/root/.pmailrc the line
memo ~/mail/address-book

Links is now sending mail using Steven's script 'mailto', which I modified 
to send mail right away instead of just putting it into the outbox.

On the two computers where I had the older mutt for BL2, the newer one is 
not letting me do 'mu address' to start on the screen with the address 
line, so I can't use mutt with links.  On a third computer I can use it.
Mailto is good enough.

I have to read more on how to use a different mail program than sendmail 
with lynx.  The standard sendmail program is several hundred K plus config 
files.
